I help people understand complex things, I help clear the way for them to do great work, and I help them build trust with one another. And by helping people, I help the companies they work for do better. It’s that simple. Where I excel is in the soft skills - the things that can’t be taught in school or in books or on the job, but instead they’re the things that you learn along the way by being a good listener, asking better questions and always seeing the best in people. My resume and LinkedIn profile outline where I’ve been, but they can’t describe the why’s or how’s behind those experiences that make up those soft skills. But since the algorithms need data, there it is, laid out in bits and bytes. If there’s something in there that piques your interest, let’s talk about it. I’m always up for a nice chat, and who knows, maybe I can help you and yours do better too.The formal:Event technologist, strategist and dynamic team leader with deep experience in business operations, program/project management and multichannel marketing.
